Practice is at Ft. Custer this afternoon (Wednesday, 10/09). I didn't remember to remind the team at practice yesterday until about half of our athletes had left.

We will meet in the mountain biking trailhead parking lot. You need a recreation pass if you wish to park there during practice. Contact me ASAP if you don't have a way of getting into the park.

Yesterday we ran timed miles on the track and saw staggeringly successful results. It had been seven weeks to the day since the last time we had run a timed mile. The average improvement across our team was 45.6 seconds! Jacey (2:02), Phoebe (1:25), Grace (1:08) and Kasey (1:06) all cut over a full minute off of their previous times. Every single person on the team ran at least 13 seconds faster than they had run 49 days ago. It's always satisfying seeing a measurable, quantifiable representation of the improvements being made and all of the hard work that has been performed by our runners. Way to go!
